54. Modern Warfare

The red and white dragons circle the war-zone. White lines are drawn on the field of jade. Like firing a cannon, the egg-shaped ball is kicked into the air.

The opposition returns fire.

The ball is caught and carried forward. Defenders race into formation. They tackle hand-to-hand.

But one player breaks through, like the Calvary. Leaving a trail of fallen bodies, he’s brought down yards from the try line. Held back from the castle door.

Forming a scrum, the team batters down the door. The ball is carried over.

The red dragon groans, but the white dragon roars in triumph.
